Anastasia Miloslavskaya, ACA
Somatic-informed counsellor helping with grief and adjustment
About Anastasia
Anastasia Miloslavskaya is an ACA counsellor who blends body-aware work with talk therapy. She draws on a range of approaches to help people cope with grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, career crossroads and ADHD-related challenges. Anastasia aims to make therapy clear and practical so people can use it day to day.
She has five years of experience and has lived and studied in multiple countries before settling in Australia. That background informs her awareness of the stresses that come with major life changes and relocation.
Background and approach
Anastasia often sees people dealing with loss, loneliness and the strain of adapting to a new life. Her style is calm and direct. Sessions focus on noticing how feelings show up in the body and in everyday choices.
She combines somatic tools with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural techniques to build small, manageable skills for handling anxiety, overwhelm and impulsivity. Anastasia also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to strengthen emotional connection and self-compassion. She works with parents who feel burned out, people sorting family origin issues, and those struggling with guilt, shame or control patterns.
The work includes practical communication skills and ways to make daily life more tolerable. Clients can expect a flexible, humane approach that values respect and safety. Anastasia encourages creative ways to practise new habits outside sessions, for lasting change.
She speaks English and offers sessions suited to different schedules and lifestyles.
How somatic-informed and ACT approaches work online
Somatic work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body, using gentle movement, breath and sensing exercises to help people feel calmer and more grounded. It can be helpful for grief, anxiety and the physical restlessness often linked with ADHD.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then choosing actions that match your values. This approach suits people wanting clearer direction on decisions, career shifts and purpose-related concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. That collaborative planning helps make sessions relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around work, parenting and study, and practise tools between meetings. For many, remote sessions make it easier to get steady support while juggling daily life.
